Perfect for preschoolers! Recommended dance songs for sports day (21–30)
Brother BeatSnow Man
For those looking for a song with a comical vibe, Brother Beat is recommended.
It’s a track performed by the idol group Snow Man as the theme song for the movie Mr.
Osomatsu.
In the film, each member plays a character, and the lyrics feature playful back-and-forths between those characters.
Beyond that, the song also highlights the theme of brotherly bonds.
The choreography matches the song’s mood with lots of humorous moves.
In particular, the iconic “Sheh!” pose that symbolizes the series is easy to mimic and is sure to get everyone hyped.
PopopopoposeGReeeeN
Popopopopose is used in the popular children’s show Inai Inai Baa!.
It’s a song written specifically for the program by GReeeeN.
Matching its upbeat, poppy lyrics, the song has kids strike a variety of poses.
There are four moments throughout where you do a signature pose, so it’s fun whether everyone does the same pose together or each person chooses their own.
If you go with the latter, even thinking about “What pose should I do?” becomes part of the fun.
OLA!!yuzu
It’s a catchy song with lively Latin rhythms.
The lyrics, themed around bonds between parents and children and between friends, are fun and heartwarming.
Released in April 2015, the track drew attention as the theme song for the Crayon Shin-chan movie.
It was reportedly Yuzu’s first tie-in with Crayon Shin-chan.
It’s also perfect for a sports day dance program, and highly recommended for dancing together with kids.
Packed with a bright, positive message, it’s a great choice when you want everyone to get energized.
La La La ExercisegaagaaS
Have you heard of the popular song “La La La Exercise,” loved and widely used in preschools and other facilities? It’s great for a morning wake-up routine, and of course it’s been danced to energetically by many children at sports days and recital events.
The song is simple, so you’ll probably memorize it just by listening and dancing to it a few times.
The lyrics are paired with the movements to lead the actions, so if you practice exactly as the song goes, you’ll be able to dance it perfectly.
Master this happy, high-energy number and make your sports day even more exciting!
Run!Momoiro Kurōbā Zetto
The idol group Momoiro Clover Z released a song known as “Hashire!” which also appeared as an insert song in the film Moteki.
As the title suggests, it’s a fast-paced track brimming with a sense of sprinting, with the giddy excitement and happiness of being in love sung over an up-tempo sound.
It has a very lively feel, so I think it’s perfect for everyone to dance to and get hyped.
It would also be fun to include running movements in the choreography to match the title and lyrics.
Happy SongTokyo Dizunīrando
A perfect track for summer events has arrived! Featured in the Tokyo Disneyland attraction “The Happy Ride with Baymax,” this upbeat song was released in 2020.
Its bright and cheerful vibe is sure to lift your spirits just by listening.
It’s included on the album “Tokyo Disneyland: The Happy Ride with Baymax,” where you can enjoy it along with five other tracks.
Since the songs play at random each time you ride the attraction, it feels fresh no matter how many times you go! It’s also perfect for practicing dances for school sports festivals.
If everyone comes up with choreography and dances together, it’s sure to become a fun memory.
Smileyuzu
How about “Smile,” which carries the message that each and every person is irreplaceable? It’s a song by the folk duo Yuzu, featuring a cheerful, march-like melody.
Because of that, choreography with marching-style movements would match it well.
There’s also a children’s chorus section in the middle and a call-and-response part at the end, so having everyone sing those sections while dancing would really liven things up.
